Lancelin doesn’t have any interest to me anymore but I might go fishing there one day.

We spent a year in North Yorkshire last year doing a teacher exchange. The exchange itself did not work out so well but near to where we were living was a village called Bishop Monkton. It had won “most beautiful village in England” a couple of times and it was a truly beautiful village. We took lots of pictures but they got lost on our exchangee’s computer. It has a stream flowing through the village and on one occasion we were there there were lots of ducklings swimming in the stream. The houses all looked like they were from a fairy tale book. I think if you are going to England you have to make the effort to go and see this village. It was the highlight of our year away.

I had a lot of fun today. The weather was a bit cold so I did not go swimming. I wish I had taken my fishing gear though as there were a lot of people there with fishing rods. I also worked on two of my goals – eating more healthily and getting more exercise (no option here as I had to ride a bike everywhere) and I ate a really tasty chicken and salad roll. The highlight of the day was having the children see the quokkas. It was an excellent day out

Lancelin is a town just north of Perth. It has magnificent sand dunes where people can go sand boarding. It is also a popular four wheel drive destination. There is good fishing and it is popular with windsurfers.

I believe that Perth is the best place in the world and that is a biased opinion. It has plenty of sunshine, there is plenty of open space and people are generally healthier and fitter than in other parts of the world.
